The winner of the Food Network's "Delicious Destination of the Year" is Portland. Portland beat out Minneapolis and the other Portland (the one famous for lobster and chowder) in the 2007 Food Network's Awards.

"When I first heard the cities we were up against, I knew we were a shoo-in," Viande co-owner Ben Dyer told Oregonlive.com food blogger Karen Brooks. "We have it all here -- the farmers, the cooks, the winemakers. It's no surprise we're getting the recognition we deserve."

The episode announcing the winners aired Sunday night. (Only on the Food Network Award red carpet would cereal characters, "Snap," Crackle" and "Pop," and "Tony the Tiger" show up.)
